Reap What You Blow post-mortem

I'm still surprised I managed to finish Reap What You Blow just in time for the compo. I couldn't come up with a better use of the theme than harvesting souls, but even that felt too generic so, with a small inspiration from Luigi's Mansion I ended up with a leaf blower and an office-chair combo. Definitely not as practical as a traditional control scheme, but I'm glad I did it, because after I laid out that baseline I didn't have any problems thinking up stuff that could be fun to do. I definitely wanted to do more than I was capable of finishing in time, and what I did finish had to be rushed out rather than refined, but I like the outline of what I did here and I feel like there's some more potential in the central mechanic

PSA Be Careful Editing Your Entry

This may already be common knowledge, so sorry if I'm beating a dead horse, but I edited my game page on this site a couple days ago to add patch notes for my post jam bug fix update. Didn't realize that when editing the page, you need to re-check/uncheck all of your settings at the bottom, including whether or not you want ratings on your game. It seems to default to receiving no ratings. I was wondering for a good day or so why I was getting more comments, yet no more ratings until I checked, so learn from my potentially common mistake and be careful! Might set you back a bit.
